AnonD-123, 16 Feb 2011I'm not sure how fast is fast in your context. At my rate of texting, I do not have any issue... moreSpace between the keys is not enough to be able to text fast, the keys have to be "high" enough so I can feel without any doubt that I have pressed the key, and the edges of each key must be "sharp" so I clearly feel where the key ends and where the next key is. I sholud be able to text based on feel only without having to look at the keys.
The big problem with Touch Pro 2 was that the keys did not have any clear edges so I could never feel if I was pressing the correct key, and the distansce each key was pressed was to "shallow" so it was difficult to know if I had pressed it or not, and the surface of the keyboard was too "slippry"

At my rate of texting, I do not have any issue with pressing two keys. The keys on the keyboard are spaced fairly apart so that I do not press two keys by accident.
I did not root my phone, so I cannot comment on that. I would direct you to the Android forums to find more information on rooting this phone. Here's the link: http://androidforums.com/desire-z-all-things-root/ Members there will be better able to provide you with rooting information.

I normall... moreWell I have not finaly decided wich one to buy, the problem with xperia pro is that it only have 320 mb internal memory and I do not know if I want to do all the "hard" work that I had to do with the original Desire install data2ext and I it will be some time before the programmers at xda will help me with a ready made fix/solution for xperia pro. Z have 1,5 gb internal memory and do not need me to install any data2ext... I also fear that xperia pro will be rather expensive.
When you text fast do you ever press more than just one key, that is the problem I had with Touch Pro 2?

I normally do not text a lot in this position because I find it tiring to hold the phone up whether I'm entering text or reading only. If I do, I just re-adjust my grip to ensure the screen does not close down on me.
For the position I normally use the phone, I do not have any issues with the hinge. I really like the keyboard as the keys are spaced apart (unlike BlackBerrys) and the most often used punctuation are easily accessed without having to press the key.
The weight is not an issue for me. It does feel heavier than other phones, but not so much that it is uncomfortable to hold and use.

Z is good but the z-hinge and the relatively bad qwerty and 180 g make me choose SonyErisson XPERIA Pro.

Pawan_vajs79, 15 Feb 2011I have three issues with this phone. If someone could help me with i would be really grateful ... morethe screen goes blank whenever u put the phone near your face when making a call. it's one of desire z's features to prevent you from pressing anything on the screen during calls. it automatically locks the screen.
as for the unresponsive touchscreen, try recalibrating it in the set-up.
if it does not work, take it to a service center and have it checked.
or you can reset the phone.
hope these tips will help.

If someone could help me with i would be really grateful ... moreHello. well first of all, when ur screen goes blank while making a call...it is one of the features of desire z. it automatically locks the screen to prevent u from touching anything else while making a call. as for the non-responsive touch screen...try recalibrating the touch feature of the phone. you can find it in one of the apps. if after recalibrating and the problem still persists, try taking it to a service center to have it checked. hope your phone will work this time.

1. Some times the touch does not respond at all no matter what you do?
2. when you make a call the screen goes blank and attempts to call the person. At times you accidentally call the wrong person from the call log and you cannot end the call as the screen is blank
3. the phone will shutdown for apparently no reason and you may have to remove the battery and put it back, then power it back on.
are these common issues or should I go to the service center for software reinstallation.

Which one is the best? DHD or Dz? I don't care about the keyboard but the build quality and the performance. And how is the durable??? Any idea?

@ Desire
I highly recommend you to buy the HTC Desire Z, because you can get the maximum from the Z. Take a look at xda-developers.com. You can install custom ROMs that makes your Z very special and you can even overclock your Z to 1.9GHZ. So you can play PSX4Droid really smoothly.

You should ask your uncle why he said that. Let us know what he says and we can tell if you we agree or not.

Desire Z is the best phone i found. Earlier i have used nokia E95 and N97.I have noticed few problems in this phone and till date i couldn't fix them. I dont have any HTC authorised dealer or service center nearby.Phone gets switched off once in 3/4 days with no reason.Then it doesn't start unless u remove battery and refit and then it starts.Over last 2 months use I have replaced battery still it needs charging after 3/4 hours inspite of overnight chargeing.that means in spite of 9 hrs chargeing in the night, still have to charge with in 3/4 hours again. After completeing the call the line doesnot get disconnected, then i have to restart the phone again.
I was irrited with N97, because of frequent hangups.
And now this HTC desire z series is following the same footprints of nokia.
please can anybody help me
Thank u

desire, 14 Feb 2011Hey friends, I really like this mobile and will by a unit soon.
But my uncle said me that t... moreI got this phone and it's gotta be the best phone out there. It must have the smoothest browser for the internet and the build quality is fantastic. The z hinge is great because it's unique and stops your thumbs hitting the screen. The only complaint i have ive had is its a bit heavy. But with the desire range theres 3 to choose from. the HD and the standard desire. These are alot lighter just because the Z has that hardware keyboard.
So buy it, Best android phone with a keyboard out there.
The experia x10 are bringing out the the pro version with the keyboard but dont know when.
